ok here goes,
I have a 92 cherokee with a 4.0 5spd and almost 185k miles on it, the problem i've been having is that it won't start when i turn over until i push the gas pedal to the floor then it sputters to life, at first it'll sound like a motorcycle at around 1000-1500 with gas pedal to the floor then it'll eventually run smooth, it also very easy to stall out on accelleration. when I romp on the gas pedal it'll hesitate then lurch violently then run normally, when i slowly push the pedal it goes a little smoother but i also have to rev the rpms to over 1500 then let of the clutch to accelerate from a stop without stalling.
Now I'm guessing it could be one of few things: bad O2 sensor, bad Fuel pump/clogged fuel pump, bad Throttle Position Sensor, or bad Engine control computer.
is there any other possibilities? what is the most likely cause? I want to get this fixed without buying the unecessory parts.
sorry I'm used to fixing old carburated generic vehicles. any help is greatly appreciated.
